I started drinking alcohol years ago as a teenage, spent my whole life fighting alcohol addiction. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

Having been a moderate/heavy drinker for 7 years and feeling the effects on my body and some recent health scares, this video is just that much more of a motivator to finally quit, which I'm on day 4. Wish me luck and if you're in a similar situation, prayers to you.

Some of my best and worst stories are with alcohol.

This is why I'm an occasional drinker. I generally won't drink unless I eat and I normally have just one drink followed by water. My father, grandfather, and great grandfather were alcoholics. I don't intend to be the fourth generation alcoholic.

I'm female and used to drink men under the table. I'm also an alcoholic. 49 days sober. One day at a time.

I always describe "overdoing it" as the best night, followed by the worst night of your life, all in one evening. For me, there's nothing worse than realizing it's a vomit night.

I began drinking at the age of 13, but I started drinking heavy at 15/16, and I would drink every weekend, or sometimes even every other day. At times I would binge drink with my friend's at the time, and we'd stay up until 9am sometimes until 1pm just drinking, and doing blow. Anyway I finally began to feel the effects of both in 2017 when I began to get heart palpitations. I basically began to incorporate lots of fruits, and vegetables into my diet like literally every fruit, and veggie you could think of, and I quit drinking, for a few months, and it went away. This was in July 2017 to September 2017 then I basically slowly went back to the same lifestyle, for another 8, or 9 months. I then calmed down again in July 2018 to about February 2019 because I had moved from the big city my hometown of Chicago to quiet El Paso. Anyway when I returned the same thing, for another 5 months, and then back to Texas, for 7 months, and once again when I was in Texas I only drank a few time's in a half of year period. I finally returned to Chicago, for good in July of 2020, and by April of 2021 I began to feel strange in my abdomen. I was convinced it was my liver, or pancreas, so I quit drinking immediately. I then quit the blow in May because the pain wouldn't go away. I even stopped smoking cannabis in late May because I was getting worse despite quitting the other 2 drugs of choice. By mid June it felt very hot in my abdomen, and it felt as if it was going to explode. The pain was excruciating I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Anyway I went to the hospital in June of 2021, and was diagnosed with Diverticulosis. Google says the cause is unknown, but come on it doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to know that poor diet combined with excessive drinking, and snorting was the cause of my body's deterioration. I went on a Vegan diet, and this honestly helped me, but not as fast as the Kombucha fermented Tea's. They have like positive bacteria probiotics basically, and it fixed me up real quickly the inflammation went down immediately I couldn't believe it. Anyway I tried sipping a little in September of 2021, and it would hurt a little in my lower left abdomen, so I told myself yup it's over Josh you had your fill. Gonna be like 1 year of sobriety in a few weeks. In late October it'll be one year of sobriety from blow. I still smoke cannabis since it's legal in my state of Illinois, and it's never made me feel drained, and dehydrated like the other two vices I had. The last thing I need to do now is to cut down on my consumption of meats, and junk food in general. This channel also has a video on the effects unhealthy food has on the human body, and mind, and I greatly appreciate it. Knowledge is powerful, and once it happens to you that's when you start to take it seriously. Heck I know people who have life threatening illnesses, and still continue to do what they're doing. I guess their life right? If they wanna die an agonizing death that's on them however not me uh uh I love life. I was scared straight if you do drink I guess all I can say is drink responsibly, and in moderation. I hear a few cups a day is actually beneficial to our health. Although the problem with us Human's is we lack self control, and we always want more. Anyway God Bless you all, and I hope you all stay safe, and live a long healthy life 🙏🏻

I’m five days away from 6 months of sobriety, I’m currently on step 4 in AA and have some legal matters hanging over my head. There trying to make it out as if I was bat ish crazy when I encountered the police. I was suffering from alcohol poisoning which hasn’t been mentioned at all, it’s been a tuff go with being in the service industry and not being able to work for a year on top of being denied unemployment. Deaths in the family & strained finances aren’t an excuse for my actions, but what I’m being charged is pretty ridiculous. No matter, I’m sober and grateful that I am alive and carry the feeling of “rock bottom” everyday to never return that state ever again.

I was an alcoholic mostly for about 14 years and I can tell you it the most dangerous times when you black out and do not remember anything at all the night before trust me that dangerous for real.... I been sober recovering alcoholic for over 3 years now and still going strong so yea.... Have more faith in your self and stay on the right path and you will be fine YAY.... be safe everyone 😃....

[WasabiDreams]

I'm a sober alcoholic. Been sober for quite some time. It created so many problems for me. Living black out to black out..waking up in hospital detoxing. The whole addiction thing is extremely time consuming, complete money rinser and more importantly, it's completely soul destroying, I had to drink in order to delay the DTs, shaking, sweating, vomiting.
The hallucinations are very real at the time and terrifying. Drink will often tell me it will solve a problem/dilemma. Or give me the comfort blanket that it did in my early years of drinking. My message to anyone out there in a relapse and want to stop, is to get to a hospital. Withdrawing from alcohol without the right detox/drugs, can (and is) be fatal. Day by Day....hour by hour.

I used to drink a lot during my life many years ago much out of depression issues. But seen the worst occur with a violent ex whom later died doing the same thing of consuming alcohol resulting in my own suicide attempt back in the days after returning from my deployment overseas. My depression levels has decreased a lot and currently on very strong medications due to my injuries from overseas and depression levels. As a result of this, I am blessed to not be drinking any longer and it is very rare that I pick up a single drink every few years usually during a family gathering. I am also single owning everything I ever wanted in life therefore I feel no need to ever drink alcohol ever again as it can destroy a relationship and I do not want anyone hurt emotionally or otherwise and alcohol itself can destroy a relationship and never helps a true relationship. I rather see people around me happy enjoying life to the fullest personally.

I'm about 5 months without a drink. Almost half a year. Do I crave it? Yes. Do I think about it? Yes, been drinking Almost nightly for 20 years. I take it 1 day, sometimes 1 hour at a time.

[tylerharris]

Having a drink now, love a interactive experience lol. Though I’m not a heavy drinker, I hate being drunk but enjoy a mild buzz

[EmilyS-gkst]

Thanks for helping me get a better understanding! Although I'm of age, I don't drink alcohol for religious reasons, but still want to understand what it's like for those who do drink. The explanation of dopamine and serotonin helped me understand why someone could enjoy it.

[juniourdiaz]

The thing about alcohol is that its literary everywhere you go as a adult family functions, restaurants etc it's just socially accepted, so i have to have self control cuz i know when i start drinking i wont stop... 2 weeks sober and hoping for many more 🙏

[michaelschuett]

I consumed alcohol almost daily for about 4 years and was finally able to quit for good 4 months ago, best decision I ever made. I also quit caffeine and juices for a week now and only consume water. I feel so amazing now and my family is so happy with my new attitude.

[Trump_Trump]

Props to the guy who actually went through all this to make this video

[ISMAYTT]

Got drunk literally yesterday, is universe trying to tell me something through the infographic show videos??

[reclaimer]

I was just a casual drinker, i normally only drink on special occasions, like someone's birthday, Christmas, New year and etc.
Once i drank way too much alcohol i blacked out in 1 hour, can't remember anything, never did that again, now i'm a casual moderate drinker, only drink on special occasions and in moderate amounts, it's amazing, i become more extroverted without compromising any memory and/or vomiting/passing out.
